    Sensitive- yes, the debates instead of The Voice; one painful to watch and one pure fun. That one debate was enough for me to watch, I know who I am voting for. Next one is the day we are flying into NYC, so we will be sitting at some fab restaurant having dinner vs. watching the tube.

    Favorite coach? I like both Adam and Blake, but if I were on this season and had a choice, I would choose Alicia Keyes. That girl is on fire!

    mommyof2, your hubby is right, good to let it out. It's a nice release for emotions. You probably aren't done yet. And yes it is said to see our family members at funerals and weddings.

    Morning all

    Have a great day

    Going off to play with Elena . I just pretend in front of Claire that I am not in pain. Gonna be hard today. And it's not that she can't handle it, I don't want her to treat me in a delicate fashion and not ask me to babysit. So,it's time to suck it up and go have fun with Elena. Yeahhhhhhhh that sure eases my aches and pain

    Ms. Wren, thank you. Will look into the articles from ADD/ADHD. Maybe, I will find some tips to pass it on to DDs. I think they both may have it also. DD told me a few times that she can't pay attention in class and her mind wonders. When DD2 was much younger she could not sit still while doing her homework. She would get up several times to walk around to get her energy out. Unlike me, they both have managed to do well in school. Maybe swimming and piano somehow have helped them. I just thank God they don't struggle like me.

    Enerva, always nice to see you popping in. You own a motorbike? Wow! Have always wanted to try, but too chicken. DH used to have what they called a Ninja? This was before we met. I am happy with just a moped. Sorry the side effects of treatment prevent you from enjoying that part of life. Hey, we have a few knitters here. Just found out Queenie also knits which is weird ( I know I shouldn't stereotype, Queenie, but don't we all do?). I am sure the ladies would love to see your work as much as I do.

    Awww Susan, how can we not love you? Wish I could hug you. (Queenie, next time Susan invites herself to your place, could you give her a hug for me?). Blessed time with Elena.

    Mommy, you got a good DH there. I think I told you this before.

    Sensi, good to hear you were able to go to the concert. Did it bring back a lot of memories? Amazing how music can bring you back to the same place when it first stirs your heart. Glad to hear Old Man Chance is taking care of you.

    Jazzy, the debate was painful to watch. I prefer to watch the Voice-at least the comedy doesn't affect our kids' future. Sorry for the sarcasm. DD is old enough to vote this year.

    Feline, I am glad I have company. Oh, before I forget.....I really enjoy all the photos you have shared. I want to learn how to take photos in a way that will cause a person to take in a deep breath and be reminded of the beauty that is surrounding us. Someday, someday.

    Hello and hugs to my other friends. Hope your pain is manageable. Love to all.

    Boy, that only took me more than an hour to write.

    Susan- such a cutie pie. I am sorry you have pain and understand your need to not share that with Claire.

    Elena is so beautiful.

    I am too tired now, so I'll just say goodnight to you all and hope you'll have a great "Hump Day!" tomorrow.

    JunieB ~ I hate losing posts :( When I remember, I type my stuff either in Word or as an email first. Then I cut and paste it here.

    I've developed trigger thumb over the past few weeks....ack. (stupid Femara) I need to be brave like JunieB and go get an injection. So frustrating.....I can finally sit long enough to work on the computer and visit here too and now I can't hardly type :(

    Big (((HUGS))) to all ~ Sweet dreams too :)

    sheps, baby steps can be frustrating, but they do move you forward,,,,on a much slower pace than we would like...hang in there sister. Glad you can sit a bit longer now :)

    Jazz bug, love the dog hump day pic. Haha...that will be me tomorrow on chemo day. Was glad to hear we are suppose to have rain over the next 4 days. Don't mind laying around on rainy days. My mood will be better. You know...it's all about me...lolBawling

    Sorry you lost your posts jazz. Hope you had sweet dreams......no bad dreams about technology !!

    Still emotionally wiped out. Got some much needed sleep last night, but not enough to say I am totally rested. Going to take a nap later today

    Mommy, I'm sorry you are going through such a hard time. Sending you hugs!!

    Junie, Love the Wednesday pics!

    Shep, I've had a shot for trigger thumb...it's over quickly, so just do it! (A little tough love for you.)

    Susan, Best wishes for chemo today. We have had a lot of rain lately, so gladly sending your way! I understand you not wanting to show your pain to your daughter. I am not always able to hide mine from my kids, since they live with me, but I try to tone it down. Otherwise they give me such worried looks. :( I hope you had fun with Elena!

    Sensi, Glad round 3 wasn't too bad for you.

    Enerva, School and work..that's a lot to handle!

    Hello to everyone else..Loverly, Lookie, Sas, Jazzy..I know I'm forgetting people, sorry.

    It's a cool day here in MN, 50's this AM and supposed to only get into the low 60's. I'm going to make some chili and leave simmering in the crock pot today. Will be nice to come home to this evening!

    Arrgggggh! Hump-Free! I just "got it" - Good one JunieB!

    Susan - But I'm sick of baby steppin'! (sulking) Rainy days are awesome on days you just need to hunker down with a fuzzy blankie and rest. Sunny days make me feel like I am being lazy by wasting 'em. May your treatment be easy on you. I'm sure you'll be rocked to sleep by memories of baby Claire and baby Elena in that lovely chair; while snuggying Shelby <3

    JWoo - oooooh those owls! Majestic yet fierce.

    WildT - You've got me pegged - I draaaag out doing doctor thingies if I can! Tough love needed and appreciated :)

    M0mmy - Hope better days are ahead. (((hugs)))

    "Hello" to all !

    Things were a bit better today. Was able to get a good start on my second paper for my Advanced Composition class. Took a catnap like I had planned too.

    that's gross...yuck

    Hers is a picture of Elena wearing a sweater I knitted for her....before Claire was ever pregnant. If I knew it was a girl, it would have had some pink in it. She doesn't look like she loves it, but Claire said she does, and easy to wipe off spit up from...lolimage

    Susan - I was admiring the talented works on the "Let's Make an Art Gallery" thread....so nice to look at before going to sleep. There were several pictures you had posted of the cutest sweaters you had knitted for your soon to be grandbaby. There was a little jacket you posted that you were waiting to add buttons to until you knewif the baby was going to be a boy or girl. It made me smile to remember what an exciting time that was 💟

    Loverly ~ Ewwwww! That poor lady needs some bug spray 😱
